Our Adoption Process...

The adoption fee for kittens and puppies is $20.00 and $25.00 for dogs and cats. When adopting an animal from Animal Services, you must sign an agreement to take the animal to a Veterinarian of your choice within three days of adoption. The Animal Services Shelter does not have a veterinarian on the premises.

Customers are also be required to sign an agreement to have the animal spayed or neutered. This is a State Law in Georgia which became effective in July 1994.

Once all of the paperwork is completed, you will have a wonderful new addition to your family!
